A dual diagnosis is a diagnosis of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder. This could be a co-occurring substance abuse addiction along with a bipolar disorder, or a gambling addiction coupled with depression. It may be several things all occurring simultaneously, with particular disorders making other problems worse or even stimulating them. For example, someone's alcohol abuse might be triggered by their need to find relief from their depression or anxiety. A person might be suffering from depression because of their substance use. It often requires professionals to discover the root causes of each of the disorders the person is battling and work out a treatment plan that will effectively treat both at the same time so that the person can lead a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle.
This is where dual diagnosis drug rehab in Fort Myers comes in. Having someone receive drug treatment at one center and then having to go to a mental health professional at a different facility isn't ideal. The most successful dual diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab facilities can work on both co-occurring disorders in one setting and at the same time. Long term inpatient rehab is best for people with more advanced addictions and mental health disorders, because these clients benefit most in an atmosphere which is full immersion and where there are no time limits on their rehabilitation.
